Scrapping and Weaving!

I recently joined the site http://letsscrap.ning.com/ which gives sketch ideas.  I want to focus on scrapbooking more this year so I thought this site was perfect.  A couple of weeks ago they had a weekly challenge that involved weaving.  I missed the deadline but still wanted to complete the page.  I am not sure I have enough patience for weaving again but we will see, LOL.  I knew I wanted to do this family shot from a beach weekend we had this summer and am excited to have a page done that I can hang in my scrapbook room somewhere until it goes into a book.  I added some buttons for accents and I always write in the sand so that came in handy for a "title" for the page.  I hope you get inspired by the page or by visiting the lets scrap site!  TFL. (sorry for the quality of the pics, the overcast and lighting in my room is horrible today so some are blurry and some have a flash).

Baby Baby Baby!

A young lady in my office is due to have a baby later this month so we planned a surprise shower for her.  I made a banner, a card, a Mommy to Be button, a diaper tricycle and some party favors (party favors and diaper tricyle are thanks to my good friend Stephannie (http://www.born2beach.blogspot.com/).  I really enjoyed making everything, especially since it was girly :)  I used Sugar and Spice for the banner (except the triangles, I used lyrical letters and cut off the tag piece) and for the card.  Stephannie cut the pillow boxes (minus the bunny) from her Easter cart and she made the little It's a girl sentiments on the computer!  The Mommy to Be was very surprised by the shower and LOVED everything!  Success!  Can't wait to do another one, I hope someone I know has a boys soon, I would love to do some blue stuff!  (sorry some of the pics are not great, I forgot to take a good picture of the banner and the lighting is off in some of the others). TFL.
